I was just sitting here thinking about how last year was totally not what I had expected, nor could have ever planned for. Then, I started thinking about how 2008 will go and how many new things we will experience with a new baby. I don't know about you guys, but I am one that likes to know what is going to happen tomorrow and I like to have a plan. The unknown is sometimes a little intimidating and frustrating to me.
The Lord reminded me of Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Praise the Lord that we have something that we can count on!

Even though Sophie was "technically" in these pictures, she wasn't visable. So here is a snuggly one from today.

Thanks for sharing, Brooke. I like to know the plans of what's going to come along, too. The good news is that there are so many things from scripture that we KNOW. If only we could rest in THOSE things instead of the unknown.
"For I KNOW that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; And after my skin is destroyed, this I KNOW, That in my flesh I shall see God, Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!" Job 19:25-27
Good thoughts, Brooke. We need to continually remind ourselves of the unchangeable-ness of our God, because even when we THINK we are running according to our plans, we really have a limited concept of what God is doing.
Your post reminded me of a verse that's been running through my mind, "A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps." Proverbs 16:9
I love the spiritual growth I see in your life, the desire to learn from the Lord. Your dad would be so proud of you!
I can totally relate to wanting everything planned out. I am the same way, sometimes to a fault though. That is something I have really been praying for the Lord to change in my life. I seem to "plan" things in my head, and they never turn out the way "I think they should". This past year has been major changes in my life too, not the same as yours, but big changes (for me) like moving a millon miles away from home, and having a new baby, etc.
I am so thankful that although our lives may be unpredictable our Lord and Savior isn't. He really is the only constant in this world. Thanks for your encouragement, and for sharing your journey.
